Furman celebrated our twelfth-annual partnership with Giving Tuesday on December 3, 2024

Thank you to our Furman Family for your Giving Tuesday support! Your generosity in this season of giving is deeply appreciated.

Furman students will benefit from more than $1.4 million in additional funding thanks to the combined gifts of 460 alumni, parents, employees, and friends of the university.

Every gift will help expand our impact and make the full promise of our university real for all students regardless of their financial circumstances. That’s worth celebrating!

"Giving of oneself is in the DNA of Furman University and it’s students, faculty and alumni. If we don’t do everything we can to encourage the next generation to accomplish more than us, then we aren’t living up to our legacy."

"I love the quote, ‘Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.' Furman was my opportunity. That opportunity was my Furman Advantage. And I prepared as much as I could - but I still needed the opportunity. Scholarships free our best and brightest minds of financial worry so they have space to be intellectually curious and community minded."
